Help me out here. When I saw the dissillusioning push poll
regarding the phone cos and NSA I kept thinking "they've pulled this shit before." Am I right that right after the 2004 election there was some poll that they billed as "most Americans satisfied with outcome of election" and they used that to beat everyone over the head with "get over it" while we were all thinking of slashing our wrists?

Forgive my memory, I'm getting old and have seen way too many lies in my life, particularly in the past five years.

3. Joe Blow gets a phone call from a stranger who asks "Do you
care if the government has a record of your phone calls?" Joe thinks about the calls he made to the woman his wife doesn't know about, his bookie, the calls bragging about cheating on his taxes, or whatever, and says "I don't care, I have nothing to hide."

4. I would love to see a poll I can believe
What if some Du'ers came up with a collective group of questions open up the white pages and called people in their own states asking them the questions we decided on then share our information and tally it up. Is it lawful I know I would love someone to call me and ask me what I think for once.

6. There is a poll that says that a majority of viewers of all TV
news sources-except Fox-believe the 2004 election was stolen. I believe that one.

5. It is an established Rove technique
conduct (or find) a bogus outlying poll and saturate the media with it until it becomes the "Truth"
